The Council of Loathing

The Council of Loathing are the folks that run the Kingdom of Loathing, with the current King of Loathing being otherwise occupied in being kidnapped by the Naughty Sorceress. The Council convenes in Seaside Town, where they send adventurers on quests around the Kingdom depending on their levels.

An adventurer who has completed all quests from the council available to them will be told the following:

Unfortunately, there are no more tasks required of you by the Council at this time. Return later, when you are more experienced.

In addition, level 1 players who have completed the Toot Oriole Quest will receive the following helpful advice on becoming stronger:

Say, it's a new Adventurer! Welcome, welcome! Boy, we sure can use people like you right about now.

Oh, but where are our manners? We're the Council of Loathing. And you are...

<username>! There's a hero's name if we ever heard one. Listen, we're gonna have plenty of work for you, but first, you should probably spend a little time getting your bearings.

You look a little underpowered, so maybe you can head off to one of the less dangerous parts of the Kingdom. Let's say...

Quests

Level 1 - Toot Oriole Quest - After you ascend, the Council will still send you to visit the Oriole, but you do not need to complete this quest again. If you return to the Council before reading the letter from King Ralph XI, the Council will remind you about it:

Welcome, Adventurer! It looks like you've got some business to take care of before we put you to work. Some mail to read, perhaps?

Level 4 - Bitchin' Meatcar Quest - This is now obsolete. The Guilds will now give you the Bitchin' meatcar Quest. If you haven't joined your Guild by the time you hit level 4, the Council will urge you to do so:

Notes

If a quest is available to take, the Council will turn on the Adventurer-signal.

The Council does not activate the Adventurer-signal when you are ready to go after the Naughty Sorceress.

History

The council adjourned during the rise of the Penguin Mafia. The council's words during this time have been lost to the sands of time, and not because of the activities of wholesome, good-natured penguins.

On the 32nd of October 2005 (1st November), it was announced that this Council "had some news." Upon paying them a visit, they send you on a quest to rid the land of The Gray Plague (no level requirement). On November 7th, the quest was closed without an announcement.

Just before the implementation of NS13 (and a little bit afterwards, due to a bug), an adventurer who was level 11 or 12 and had completed all quests up to that point would get the message:

Unfortunately, there are no more tasks required of you by the Council at this time. Return later, when more content has been added.
